The menu at MiKro Depot is a testament to the gastropub's commitment to quality and flavor. Start your meal with their renowned smoked wings—crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection with a satisfying dry rub. As one satisfied customer, Matt W., remarked, the wings are "awesome" and not to be missed! If you’re feeling adventurous, try the fried chickpeas, a unique appetizer that one reviewer found to be "very tasty."
For the main course, the smothered burrito emerges as a fan favorite. Paired with the salt and vinegar onion rings, it creates a dish that will leave your palate tingling in delight, just as Gage Seymour enthusiastically recommends.

Exceptional service adds to the overall experience at MiKro Depot. Take a page from Edwin Moran’s visit, where he highlighted the friendly staff and impressive variety of local craft beers available from their fully stocked bar. No one likes surprise charges, and as Brendan Grudberg noted, they don’t charge for seltzer water—an ethical choice that sets them apart in today’s dining scene!

Don't forget to save room for dessert! Indulge yourself with their gigantic ice cream sandwich, a sweet treat that delivers pure joy, leaving your taste buds singing and your heart content.

I was feeling wings...Only grabbed an app and soda, smoked wings with dry rub were awesome. I've been here for brunch in the past, that was also great. Recommend a try! They were out of the pretzel, bummer.

Perfect hide away located on a very well known trail and college lovely atmospere huge beer selection with a fully stocked bar"top self" and exotics. I had the steak great cut of meat well seasoned and prepared. Came with a very unique sauce. Very popular with the locals, and staff who are knowledgeable and friendly. Very beautiful scene inside as well as the outside railroad style patio that connects to the trail, perfect stop after or during your bike ride walk or hike.

I ordered the pretzel appetizer, when it arrived at my table the pretzel was way over heated and the beer cheese was cold and solid. I also had the fried green tomatoes BLT. That was perfect. And always save room for dessert!

We came a group of 4. First time visiting. They served water from the start. The waiter was friendly. We ordered some beers. They have a nice variety. The appetizers: Wings and Pretzel were good. The food was delicious: burgers and fried chicken sandwich. The dessert was sugary goood: Ice Cream Sandwich. It’s huge. We ate outside since the weather was nice. After a while a sitting on the bench you feel it. We had a great time. Definitely have to come back to taste their pizza.

Went here on a Sunday night and didn’t disappoint. Smoked wings were very solid, wish there was more dry rub on there. Fried chickpeas were a very unique and tasty appetizer, would recommend. Burger was great, nice bun juicy patty good sauce, fries were whatever. Overall very cool spot and they DIDNT CHARGE FOR SELTZER WATER which is something other restaurants need to do. Great if you are craving a classic American style restaurant

MiKro Depot, offers a hipster vibe with a genuinely cool, laid-back atmosphere. They serve good food, ranging from creative small dishes to heartier options, and boast a very good selection of local craft beers. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing top-notch service. It's an ideal spot for those seeking a relaxed ambiance, excellent food, and a stellar beer list

Situated on the Farmington Canal Heritage trail, it's a perfect spot to grab a bite (or two, or three!) and a cold beer while mid-exercise. The inside of this place is unique and reminiscent of a lodge, and you really can't go wrong with any of the food here. Indoor and outdoor seating is available (weather-permitting), and there's a small parking lot for those with vehicles. Close to other attractions like Quinnipiac and Sleeping Giant. MiKro Depot has something for everyone!
